White Board Wrap Up

Here are the takeaways from each of the speakers at the Whiteboard Sessions (WIBO).

Mark Batterson:

1. In the context of prayer, God will ressurect dreams.
2. We need to confess our small dreams to God. (Is. 55:8-9) Our dreams fall 13.2 Billion light years short of God's dreams.

Vince Antonucci:

1. Seek and Save God's lost children. (The church is not seeking and saving the lost, we're seeking and saving the saved.)

Tim Stevens:

1. Reality 1: Most churches aren't impacting their culture.
2. Reality 2: Spiritual interest is growing in our culture.
3. Conclusion: Leverage the culture or risk losing your impact.

Darren Patrick:

1. You find your idol when it gets bumped, because you have an internal connection to it.
2. Idols hide among root sins. The root of sin always lies in Comfort, Approval, Power, or Control.

Mark Dever:

1. God is displaying himself through the church.
2. God's word builds the church.
3. The Church is going to win.

John Burke:

1. Stay Connected. Fruit Happens.

Perry Noble:

1. Know your calling
2. Understand Priorities
3. Understand temptation

Ed Stetzer:

1. You can't get to faith without going through doubt.
2. God promises his presence not all the answers.

Those were the summary thoughts of a day spent at WIBO.
